October Favourites


I think its about time I sat down and did my first ever monthly favourites, that's right I've never done one before, god knows why as I see plenty of them around.

First off is the Clarins Daily Energizer Cleansing gel, I only re-discovered this last month, I got this with a gift box set for Christmas last year, I got a moisturiser which I didn't like and a few little extra pieces and this was one of them, I forgot how much I love this stuff, Ive been using this every morning in the shower, you only need a pee size amount, you lather it up in your hands, apply to the face then rinse, and my face feels super clean, oh and you can't forget how soft it leaves your face too. I used to take this on holiday as its handy being a travel sized product.

Next is a pretty impressive foundation, Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hour with comfort serum, I only picked this up last month and I've been using this pretty much most days and while I going to work, this is my first time using a Rimmel foundation and its amazing, if you love medium to full coverage like me, then you will love this, if you have dry skin I don't think this will be ideal for you, it dries quite quickly and turns very matte, but maybe I'm wrong and you could find nothing wrong with it, I'm combination so I have no problem and I think it turns away some of the oiliness on my face which is a bonus, and I'm not sure if its my primer but this seems to last forever on my skin, I can do a full 8 hours at work, go home and my foundation hasn't budged.

I'm not really a fan of body lotions, I think I'm just lazy having to apply it haha, I got this Korres BodyMilk in my Birchbox ages ago, I though oh great another lotion, so I just chucked it in my draws, now its getting colder outside, my skin gets a lot dryer mainly on my legs and body so that's when I have to moisturise now and then, a little goes a long way and spreads really far as its really liquidy, it smells amazing and definitely helps my skin.

You've got to love Barry M's nail polishes, there range is pretty amazing, Its she shade 273 Raspberry, I'm wearing this shade all the time now its winter, its that perfect shade, that goes with anything.

I don't see these Collection Cream Puffs being raved about enough, Ive got the shade cotton Candy 1, I've been wearing this everyday and I bloooomin LOVE it, I've even gone and brought the other two colours which is a nude and coral, they can be quite drying on the lips, but it doesn't bother me as its not noticeable, I'm actually thinking of doing a review on them soon :)

Hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites let me know what you've been loving this month

Exciting Lush Haul

I can't believe Ive never done a Lush haul before! I'm always buying things from there, maybe I just get too excited and use them straight away haha, I went into Lush last week and I haven't used any of my products so far so Ive done well, Ive been working all week and haven't had the chance to snap any photos so they've been sitting in my room :( But now I'm finally writing up a blog post and sharing with you what I brought and tonight I'm definitely going to have a bath with one of these bath bombs YAAY. 

Lets start off with the two conditioners I brought there was a lovely lady telling me all sorts of information about lush and what I would need for my hair, she said so much stuff I could of taken the whole of the lush store haha. The first conditioner I picked up was the Retread Hair Conditioner, so you can use this every time you wash your hair, its very good for dry coloured hair. Next I picked up was the Jasmine and Henna fluff-Ease Hair Treatment, all you do is apply on dry hair and you take the WHOLE LOT and cover your hair in this conditioner, and leave it on for 20mintues before shampooing and conditioning as normal, I was shocked to about having to use the whole product on your hair, I thought you only use a good amount on the ends for 10 minutes, but no you use the whole product, and this literally nourishes, softens, de-frizzes your hair, and brings your hair back to life and looking much more healthier, which is what I need, so cannot wait to give it ago. I must admit there is so much there you definitely need someone to tell you which is best for your hair I got so baffled.
Now on to the exciting bath bombs, who doesn't love bath bombs? If you've never tried nothing from Lush you've definitely been living under a massive rock haha. There was so many I couldn't choose but I went for two that I haven't seen or used before, The first one is 'Dashing Santa' it smells amazing, looks amazing, and the colours are pretty, I haven't seen this before so it catched my eye and its getting close to christmas so why not pick up a Santa? Next is the classic Northern Lights, this one I have seen and the women in the shop said these are selling out so fast, so I quickly picked one up, I think the colours are going to be pretty amazing once popped into the bath.

Hoped you liked this little lush haul, let me know what you have picked up from there recently :)

LoveMeBeauty / October Edition

The second edition for the newly revamped LoveMeBeauty, Its a new service where you receive 6 Credits and then you can pick any products you like or would like to try, some products are 1 credit and some products are 2 credits, so the full size/expensive are 2 credits, and the travel sized products are more likely 1 credit. This was an exciting month for me as I was getting 8 credits as they mixed up my order last month, and they didn't have some of the products I picked. I placed an order and a week later, they told me they had run out of some things (stupid I know) so as an apology I got 8 woo! Lets see what I picked below...
Montagne Jeunesse Hot Spring Sauna Exfoliating & Nutritiously Rich Warming Masque
I suppose you've all seen these masks in boots/superdrug, there so cheap Im sure they are only £1 but I could be wrong, I only had 1 credit left so I saw this and thought why not get a mask, it looks pretty funky and fun to use.
Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask
Ive seen this brand in Marks & Spencer's loads of times, its quite an expensive brand id say,  this little sachet is a good tester size, looking forward to giving my skin a good scrub with this.
Welda Massage Oil
I didn't pick this at all, so they must of just given it to me for free, I can safely say i wont be using this lol.
Percy & Reed Dry Conditioner
I'm most excited about this one so I had to use my 2 credits for this, Ive seen this brand everywhere in the LoveMeBeauty Boxes, I loveeee the packaging, it's so cute and vintage, this will be good for when my hair needs abit of moisture and shine back into it
Oriflame SkincDream BB Cream 5 in 1 Beauty Balm
I love wearing BB creams, so I new I should definitely give this a try, It promises to cover imperfections, all day hydration, give an instant glow, oil - free and has SPF 30.

Marlin & Goetz Cleanser and Shampoo
To be honest I don't really know why I picked these two up, I don't need any more cleaners and shampoos, but I thought they would be handy for travelling in, although I'm quite keen on the Peppermint shampoo as its set for coloured hair (which I have)

I'm super happy with this months box, and ill definitely get some use out of every single one (apart from the massage oil haha)  I really recommend signing up, its only £10 a month plus P&P. They have everything in their boutique, a selection from makeup, haircare and skincare.
